Fish Oil

I understand that fish oil is beneficial to someone with ADHD, is it the fish oil itself or the Omega 3 thats in it? The problem is that my husband will NOT take fish oil, as it leaves a bad aftertaste (his words), we have tried 4 or 5 different kinds. I know I could get him to take flaxseed oil (high in Omega 3) if it was for the Omega 3. Can anyone help he out here? Thank you in advance!

Nordic Naturals (costly, but worth it) make a very good fish oil capsule that does not cause the 'fishy burps' that some can...as long as you don't take them with hot liquids. (such as coffee). I got some for my husband, but he didn't take them as he should have...so I have no idea if they are helpful or not but I have heard many people say they are.

They sell them locally here...you can search for places that sell them if you go to Nordic Naturals' site..I think. They are very high quality and I think would be best when being used for something as serious as ADHD, ya know? I give my dog the cheap drug store brand ones for his arthritis...and they work...so who knows. :)

If you take them before you go to sleep, the fishy burpy smell is long gone when you wake up. I take 3 at bedtime. If i take them when i'm still awake watching tv, i can taste them. So i usually take them at between 11:00 - 11:30 pm.

My best friend's mom works for Carlson Labs (which sells multivitamins and stuff, I guess? I'm not trying to plug the company, but she's a sales rep and is familiar with the product). My friend recently (yesterday, actually!) asked her mom what my husband should take in regards to fish oil. This is her reply:

She might want to start him on our Elite Omega-3. Two soft gels perday are at the right amount to get his omegas in balance. We have atie pack (90+30) that would be for 2 months and my price is $14.95.

I haven't received them yet, but i was recommended to not just buy the generic kind from the grocery store. Possibly because of the fishy burps? Anyway.. passing on the recommendation I received, hope it's beneficial! Like I said, I'm not trying to plug the company, but I trust the person who gave me the info, otherwise I'd just be guessing.
